Students in the Red Bank, Little Silver and Red Bank Regional High School districts have lost midwinter break and most of spring break because of superstorm Sandy.

Those days have been returned to the school calendar in those districts, victims of the hurricane – which had closed those districts an average of eight days until Nov. 12.

All three districts will have the last day of school on June 21, and Red Bank Regional’s graduation will take place at 10 a.m. June 24.

The changed school calendars in Red Bank, Little Silver and the regional high school district still have to be approved by their respective boards of education.

Red Bank’s board is scheduled to vote on the new calendar on Nov. 20, and the regional board of education will vote at the Nov. 28 meeting.

All three districts also left the Christmas holiday break intact but reclaimed days in late February, which were originally scheduled to be used for midwinter break.

Students in Little Silver will get two days for spring break on March 28 and 29, Red Bank borough students will get a two-day spring break on March 29 and April 1, while high school students get March 26, 27 and 28.

In addition to changing vacation days, Red Bank also revised the marking period schedule to “allow a better distribution of school days,” said Laura C. Morana, superintendent, in her letter to parents.
